In planes that, until recently were used by the Swedish Airforce, take to the skies over England with a fully qualified instructor to put the quick and manoeuvrable Bulldog through its paces. Following a detailed safety and technical briefing, a formation take off, aerobatic flying and a formation loop are just some of the possibilities during your 30 minute flight. The real highlight is the opportunity to tail chase one of the other planes, just like you have seen it done in the films! Location: Gloucestershire (Midlands)Your experience will include the following: Refreshments and kit out in authentic flying suit, helmet and gloves. Safety brief at the aircraft. Pre flight briefing including parachute drill, air combat manoeuvres and video. Out brief, reminder of safety and controls, strap on parachute and take to the air!On purchasing this experience you will receive a gift voucher with 10 months' validity for TWO people.

This experience is extremely safe and all instructors are either current or former RAF pilots but you must listen to their instructions at all times and complete a medical declaration before flying. The operators are fully insured for both pubic liability and personal risks. You will be able to fly the aircraft at all times other than the take off and landing stages.

This 30 minute helicopter trial lesson is the perfect gift - due to the size of the helicopter, the recipient can even take two friends along for the ride (although they won't be included under this voucher)! In every trial lesson, you have the opportunity to take control. You'll be at the helm of the Robinson R44, with your instructor manning the dual control system to safely demonstrate and monitor the handling of the aircraft. A day in the sky not to be forgotten!

Tail chase through the skies in an adrenalin-fuelled blast where you get to go head to head with your opponent. Powered by a 300bhp Lycoming engine, the Extra 300 is an ultra light weight, state of the art, high technology display aircraft. During your thrilling flight you’ll be able to take the controls and experience the manoeuvring capabilities of the 300, fly basic aerobatics and learn how to tail chase, if that wasn’t enough you’ll also be playing ‘shoot the bandit’ whilst airborne! Location: Gloucestershire (Midlands)
Feeling adventurous? This incredible away day is a must for anyone wanting to experience the thrill of really controlling a helicopter. Once in the air, you will have the chance to fly the helicopter yourself, while taking in an amazing bird's eye view of the beautiful Midlands countryside. Your training will take place in a two-seat Robinson R22, and this day is highly recommended for those seriously considering acquiring their Private Pilot's License (Helicopters). Location: Leicestershire (Midlands)
